About the Role:
We are seeking a Legal Counsel with exposure to privacy matters and a background in the Technology or Entertainment sectors. This role sits in Privacy, but you do not have to be a privacy counsel. The most important factor for the client is to have the correct sector background. Candidates that don't have this sector will not be considered. The role will support privacy compliance, product development, and regulatory obligations across global markets.

What You'll Do:

• Develop and refine a global privacy program, ensuring compliance and addressing emerging privacy risks.
• Collaborate with game studios and engineering teams to integrate privacy-by-design into mobile games, apps, and related solutions.
• Provide legal advice on topics such as ad-tech, age differentiation, and platform-specific compliance for iOS and Android.
• Support internal teams on data governance, regulatory interactions, and third-party relationships.
• Monitor compliance with global privacy regulations and proactively adapt programs to meet new legal requirements.

What We're Looking For:

• 3-6 years of legal experience with exposure to privacy matters.
• A background in the Technology or Entertainment sectors - this is essential.
• Knowledge of digital product launches, mobile gaming, or consumer technology is advantageous.
• Strong communication, legal research, and analytical skills.
• Bonus: Privacy certifications (CIPP/CIPP-E) or a technical background.

Our client values diversity and is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace for all qualified applicants.
